Nude/sex scenes in movies and parents

C'mon PH....

This used to be a problem until my parents passed away. I suppose if we ever have kids it could be the same but different.

Feeling awkward seems to be a natural reaction. I think it has something to do with the whole incest thing, seeing reproduction (or something closely related to it) and your parents in the same time in the same room. Humans haven't been with TVs even a hundred years yet.

I don't feel uncomfortable at all. Mind you, I grew up in a very open family where the subject of sex was never repressed or forbidden. I was taught about the birds and the bees at a very early age.

That... and our house has always been very poorly soundproofed (although mostly my parents were good enough to play loud music).

I find the knee-jerk reation against children seeing nudity stupid. there is absolutely no logic in the argument that is would somehow mess kids up.

[Last Conformist]

I don't find it particularly embarassing to see sex scenes in movies when watching together with my parents.

[Dracon II]

Nudity is not nearly as problematic as violence. I'd rather my children watch nudity on tv than the three stooges.... because I'd rather have them ask me embarassing questions than knock me over the head with something to see if it makes a funny sound.

When I watched movies on tv as a kid, my parents would always walk in and catch me changing the channel away from a sex scene.

The US (and a large part of the world) is very strange these days. Violence and gore are fine, particularly on news programmes. Things like explosions, weapons firings, and dead bodies are frequently aired. On the other hand, sex, intimacy and nudity are tabboo.

The thing is, violence is bad. It's about hate, destruction, general nastiness.

What gives?

VJ, incest? Dude, I think it's just the fact that many kids don't consider their parents to be sexual beings like everyone else. I don't think it has anything to do with .. incest.

[Pekka]

UR, yeah but it's logical. I mean, sex is supposed to be a private matter and when you see people having sex on TV, I mean what's up with that? It's most likely unmarried people, doing the no no. Filming their private moment for everyoen to watch, and everyone is guilty, audience and the ones having sex. You tell me, what problems does this solve, or what problems does this address. Basically, what good does it do?

Now killing on the other hand, you have to admit it, that sometimes you can solve the problem by killing a bunch of people, or a person. This is the way the world works, with sex, you can't solve problems, killing, hell yeah.

So it's only natural, to show working methodologies, and not useless crap like nude bodies. No one benefits from that.

Right? Right?

Once someone knows what sex is and what it does, not considering their parents to be sexual beings is probably the most ridiculous repressions of logic known to man.
